overlooked the second part of your question - finding the one with the fewest
entries. it's a bit longer, but I think this will work

=INDEX(A1:A10,MATCH(SMALL(IF(A1:A10<"",COUNTIF(A1 :A10,A1:A10&"")),1),IF(A1:A10<"",COUNTIF(A1:A10,A 1:A10&"")),0))

one approach you could try. I assume you do not want empty/blank cells
considered?

=INDEX(A1:A10,MODE(IF(A1:A10<"",MATCH(A1:A10&"",A 1:A10&"",0))))

array entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter. of course it will only find the first
one in case of a tie.
